| Abstract
|
:
|
The most exciting thing about anthropology is that is enables the student to become acquainted with people of different cultures. The Tapestry of culture provides the student with the basic concepts necessary to understand these different cultures while showing that cultural variations occur within certain limits. Though the forces of globalization have caused cultures of the world around us to become increasingly similar, the book shows that people nevertheless cling to ethnic identities and their cultural distinctiveness.
